BEC Technology Center opening soon in Boerne area

Contributed

Bandera Electric Cooperative has announced the purchase of a new property located on 20 acres just off FM 289 near the I-10 corridor.
The new campus, the BEC Technology Center, will be constructed in three phases and will serve as the main hub for BEC Fiber and BEC Energy Services and will also provide an additional member services location. Members will be able to apply for new services, pay bills or charge electric vehicles.
Phase one began Feb. 1 and is expected to be completed by Aug. 1. It includes improvements to the sewer and water system, a remodel of two existing buildings, the addition of a Fiber and Energy Services warehouse and demolition of existing infrastructure.
Phase two is scheduled to begin in July and is expected to be completed within 12 to 15 months. It includes construction of a Network Operations Center and several new buildings, including the main 15,000-square-foot, two-story technology building.
Phase three will begin mid-2022, and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2023. This phase includes construction of a utility warehouse and system operations center for BEC electric crews and will provide redundancy to increase the reliability of the electric system.
“This new campus affords BEC’s workforce the necessary space and location to more effectively serve our members and continue to develop our strategies to Reimagine Rural America,” said BEC Executive Manager Shane Schmidt.
The new campus promises to bring great benefits and marks our continued dedication to keeping the latest technology within easy reach of our members.
